The issue with the episodes is that other countries like Australia get them earlier than the US so it doesn’t get the views to get an earlier release date because according to CN the viewership doesn’t show a demand for it. Also the show can’t prove there is a demand for the show if it gets a late release date

One of the things that makes Ninjago unique is the concept of Ninja being in more modern setting (more futuristic that in real life considering they robots and we don’t have robots in that scale just yet) and it helps with the whole superhero craze going on right now because it shows that the ninja are modern day Superheroes (I will argue that until the day I die). While I love the old medieval architecture Ninjago is great just the way it is

I know that the Lego Store Calendar has the Dragon Masters shown on it but are we sure the US is getting them June 1st so far no one has found one in stores. The only explanation I can find for this is the Lego Store will keep them exclusive until the August 1st release date. This is also a very similar thing that happened with the Airjitzu Flyers so it’s nothing new and I could see them doing this if I’m honest.

While it’s unlikely I wonder if Lego will release more Movie set like this or if they will release more but put it under the Ninjago name itself. I doubt this will happen but I would like more because both the Docks and City have room for more because of their construction with the Pin holes and the walkways on the upper levels.

Here’s the link to The Brothers Bricks review of the Docks and oh me oh my that set is beautiful
The Docks and City look FANTASTIC when connected together and I definitely want to get it now

There’s some kind of Lego event going on in New York, at least I think it’s New York, and it reveals that the Docks won’t be coming out until August and will retail for $229.99
The Season 9 sets also won’t be out until August

This guy has been posting reviews of season 9 sets, so far he has done Stormbringer, Throne room, and Destiny’s Wing. It is in another language and the lighting isn’t the best but at least we can see the sets in more detail
